We were all recently discussing how Rift is devoid of controversy, and how the game should be more talked about, and all that jazz?

I guess be careful what you wish for, hehe.

I'm fine with Rift avoiding controversy. It's nice to be playing a game that isn't the center of attention and polarizing for a lot of people. I'd love for Rift to be talked about more, but I'd rather it be for the right reasons.

Yeah most of this drama will blow over in a week. Money spent on leveling skills.......What is spent can't be unspent. The race for the world first kill Crucia with NA getting the patch first does blow for EU I won't deny it (it has an impact on about what 100 people tops competing for this spot, 5 guilds?) but meh in another couple weeks Regulos will be in their sights.

Heh, I shant contribute to that thread. I understand things like this happen and I have no problem "losing" the money training them. I'm not 100% happy about it, but it's not as if I'm going to threaten to quit unless I get my 100 plat back or something. I don't even want to imagine how nasty that thread is -_-

There are quite a few guilds who would already have a kill if it weren't for one specific bug. Since this hotfix goes Live in NA rather than EU it pretty much guarantees no EU guild can get a World First

I'd say they should just do it by timestamp after the servers come back up, but it's still a bit crap for EU servers to come up at 3am when the US ones are up at 11am or whatever.

Yeah, this takes me back to some patch that I think was either in WotLK or Cata, wasn't it?

That was the Pre-cata patch, and even then people had enough time to know it was coming with the PTR and beta information. This one I can see being a little more justified since it's 3 weeks after the expansion has released and we didn't have any forewarning.

Yeah, that's what I think is annoying a lot of people. There were several posts in the complaint thread saying they had just done a bunch of trining the day before, and one guy said in the hour before the downtime. If there had been some sort of notice, it wouldn't have been bad. Like it if had been on the PTS(which obviously due to the re-spec bug present now it should have been) and told it would be implementied with 2.1, then people would have had time. But they just threw it in all ninja like in a Hotfix.

It appears the the mighty beast has yet to be slain for one must understand, that one does not simply hotfix a doctapus boss.

The hotfix looks to of introduced a series of new bugs, meaning more problems with mechs and also casting raid wiping mechanics in phase 3 and later phases that are unavoidable in those phases!

So apparently, they were worried someone would win through RNG since their mechanic to keep it from being cleared had a chance at getting cleared, so they made it impossible. They tell us that they intended for it ti be beaten. They say that the hotfix was to fix it. Instead, they are all sitting back with popcorn watching the world firsters laughing their asses off.

No, not really. But it is a funny thought. I feel bad for these guys. Guess they'll either have to wait for 2.1, or maybe they'll be another Hotfix this week. Either way, I think Azuri needs to get cracking on his EU toon to pay Seatin 5 whatever is was they bet on the patch being this week.

What a bunch of slackers. I've actually got a toon on icewatch but you've gone and transferred. If I had to level a toon from scratch I think I'd nerd rage harder then a warrior reading patch notes. Too bad I can't gift my scratch and win winnings to someone....Elrar can you make it so? Kthx!

Next alt I make will be on EU...just don't hold your breath on the timing.
